Charleston - Unlike the more than 50 people accused of gambling after police raided a Charleston-area poker game, the seven people accused of dealing the cards at those games face more serious charges and tougher penalties if convicted. Sheriff Al Cannon told The (Charleston) Post and Courier that South Carolina still treats dealing as a misdemeanor, but a person convicted of the crime could spend as much as a year in jail and be fined USD 2,000 for each count.
